Staring in the mirror..... by Daniel Steele Lyrics

My mother said there would be days like this
My poppa taught me how to make a fist
Cuz my skin is black

My abuelita taught me how to pray
Just to make it through the day
I never look the other way

I gotta love my neighbor as myself
Does this mean I do not love myself?
Nah, I love myself

My skin is black
My skin is black
It's beautiful
It's beautiful

And I don't really care what you say about me
I'm made in the image of my Father
And I don't really care what you think about me
I'm made in the image of my Father
